The majority of the works applying RL to the resource allocation problem in vehicular networks consider joint optimization of V2V and cellular links [1]}, [2]}, [3]}. The authors in [4]} utilize V2V links to cooperatively relay the cellular downlink data within a cluster of vehicles, with the aid of RL-based scheduling. RL is also applied to distributed resource allocation mechanisms [5]}, [6]}. While RL-based approaches are shown to solve resource allocation tasks efficiently, the cost of such solutions comes in terms of an additional effort required for training prior to deployment.
